My channel is about woodworking and using my sawmill with the occasional cameo of my goats Bert and Ernie. I don't do custom and like to try things that interest me that relate to woodworking.
Guitar Picking Stool with Maloof Joint
*Update* I have learned that the depth of the cut for the legs with the jig should be 1.5" instead of the 1" that I did.
I wanted to make a stool with a piece of black walnut that has some nice crotch figure. I came across a design by Paul @CanadianWoodworks so I purchased his plans and went to work. Lots of power carving with a Kutzall disc. I finished it with 100% Tung Oil but thinned the first few coats with a citrus solvent. It came out wonderful and it was a good experience to learn how to do the Sam Maloof style joint for the legs. The project is not that hard but does require some router bits. Below are some affiliate links of the supplies I used for this project.

Picture Frames- What worked and What Didn't
Просмотров 665Месяц назад
I'm way overdue on making a picture frame for an award I received from the Navy. I tried three different methods of making the corners meet up and the table saw sled was the clear winner. Initially I was going to dye my frame but ended up going clear but did end up staining the second frame. This video goes through what I found worked for me and what I would avoid in the future next time I make...

It's been a couple years since my last shop tour and there have been plenty of changes so I have done a new shop tour of my woodworking shop. New tools and general layout of the shop including some mistakes that I have made in the past on some projects and some things I really like for the shop that you should keep in mind for your wood shop.
Miter Saw Station Build
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.3 месяца назад
I have needed a new miter saw for a while now and thought this would be a good opportunity to make a miter saw station for my wood shop. I'm not a fan of building cabinets so I bought some plans off another RUclipsr and started building. I tried to do a few things to make the whole process a bit simpler on myself and in this video I share what went well and what didn't. In the end I think it lo...
Black Walnut Coffee Table
Просмотров 2 тыс.4 месяца назад
I made this Black Walnut Coffee table for a lady that gave me some Walnut Logs last summer that I milled up on my sawmill. Once they dried in my barn and went through my solar kiln I reached out to her and asked if I could make her something. She chose a coffee table and picked out some tables she liked that I previously made in my woodshop. This Black Walnut slab has beautiful figure and made ...
Good and Bad Walnut on the sawmill
Просмотров 9374 месяца назад
I sawed up a walnut logs on the sawmill. When they are short like these it does make it awkward since they fall between my squaring jigs. In the end I did well with one log and not so good with the other. One log has too much rot but the other has some beautiful crotch figuring to it. The down side to the good log is that it really has limited woodworking uses like table tops. Anyways, enjoy th...
Sawing up a Cherry log and attacked by a Raccoon
Просмотров 4375 месяцев назад
I was given some cherry logs and one log had a crotch at one end so I cut it up using my Cooks MP32 sawmill hoping there would be some nice figure at the crotch end. Cherry doesn't sell so well around me but I like it. I also had an unfortunate run it with a raccoon that is raising her babies in my barn.

A big Cherry log on the Sawmill

Time to get the sawmill up and running again. I have some white oak and cherry to get through and this is the biggest cherry log I have come across locally. After half a day of milling I had a pretty good haul of cherry. Acid Jazz by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
Shop Made Waxes

Grain Matching Box
Просмотров 6449 месяцев назад
I wanted a bit of practice with my hand planes and attempted a continuous grain box. It sort of worked with the spalting but it was a bad choice of wood since the Maple I chose didn't have much grain to it. There were a few issues along the way but it did turn out nice and my wife has claimed it for herself.
Foley Saw Sharpener

I recently could not pass up a deal on this Foley 61 saw sharpener for the wood shop. It's a bit overkill for the amount of hand tool woodworking I do but it's fun to watch. I use the sharpener to touch up a Disston and Sons back saw that has a couple issues. Enjoy!

Tabletop Workbench for the #BUILDUPINITIATIVE
Good Info Thanks
Your welcome!
Just down the road from you in Rome. I teach the epoxy classes at Woodcraft there in Chattanooga
We actually met there last summer while I was there doing a bit of shopping. We had a bit of a chat up by the checkout counter. Hope your shop is coming along.
@hillbillychic3933 That is right. Shop is still waiting on permits. Maybe soon lol
Sir! I love your videos! Please keep it up. You are an inspiration.
Thank You! Glad you enjoy them. I enjoy making them.
Woah! That Pecan board with the Osmo Raw looks incredible 😍🤤
Pecan is my favorite looking wood but not vert pleasant to work with, crazy grain and very hard. Thanks for watching!
The fan type ? Size?
The shroud is 12" and one of them finally failed 2 years later.. Check the link in the description of the video. It will take you to Amazon and you can get more information on the fan there. Thanks for watching!
Hello from Kentucky, land of Hillbillification Beautiful work!
I love Kentucky, such a beautiful state!
Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
i watch you whenever i see one of your videos. keep esplaining steps like you do. thankyou
Glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for watching!
It’s a piece of art .. beautiful coffee table
Thank you!
I was a filer for years but when I moved ten years ago I gave away the majority of my Foley machinery. I advertised it and couldn't even get a bite on it until I said free and come take it away. I had three filers and kept one 387 and a 310 carbide grinder and a bench gummer. I just bought a bandsaw mill and I am going to try to adapt a grinding head to the filer to sharpen hardened band mill blades. It's a good idea and would resurrect these old filers and give them a new purpose for existence. If you take the push arm off the file arm it would just go up and down but not back and forth. Make a longer filer arm with a chainsaw grinding motor on it and it would work like a charm. Self feeding and full adjustments. I don't know if it would work with your model or the 200 but it will work with the 387.
It doesn't get much use but I like having it in my shop and it's mesmerizing to watch it work.
You can always tell someone is a furniture maker when they put adhesive on all gluing surfaces. I see so many 'woodworking' videos in which someone dabs a little glue into a hole and pushes a dry dowel into it.
I have to admit I'm guilty of that on occasion but this was my first time using epoxy as glue (I think). I do agree though. Once you get into the swing of things you realize that glue is not something that should be used sparingly.
I think the bit of randomness that the live edge added makes a flowing, organic design just that little bit more organic. I like it a lot. the Maloof joint is very intriguing.
I think the live edge works too. The Maloof Joint is a beautiful thing.
Great job!
Thank you!
Thank you for the video the eyes are getting older and being able to look at your beautiful coffee table isajoy to see
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful work. Made two of these about 2 years ago. Lots of fun doing the carving. Then made two more but used the”back” leg that was extended and put a small curved backrest on it. Thx great video.
That's a brilliant idea.. I might have to steal that for the next one..
You do beautiful work. We’re watching from Missouri
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic project, love that stool... where can I get plans, I would love to try one myself...
Canadian Woodworks has the plans and videos that go into more detail on the jig. It's the best $4 you can spend. You can figure it out just from his videos on RUclips but like it said, it's only $4.
Looks great
Thanks!
Looks very comfortable & beautiful...excellent work sir!
It is quite comfortable to sit on!
That is a beautifully shaped stool!
Thank you!
Why do you use citrus solvent? I like seeing videos like this because initially I always thought it was hard to make something sturdy when it had legs. The more I see expert woodworkers, the more I think thats prob just some shoddy builds that led me to the false conclusion. Lol. This looks very sturdy!
I use the Citrus Solvent because it thins the Tung oil so it can penetrate better and dry a bit faster between coats. It's also smells nice and is a bit more environmentally friendly in the shop. As long as the legs fit well they are very sturdy. Thanks for watching!
WoW that is sooo bootiful. 😮😮
Thank you!
Very nice Sir!
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Красиво, интересное решение.
Спасибо
Nice tour, how do you like the dust collection on the drum sander?
It works pretty good, At least I notice quite a difference if I forget to open the blast gate or turn the dust collector on.
Well done, nice looking stool. Paul @CanadianWoodworks offers ( or used to ) courses on building this and the maloof style chairs and bar stools. Really a good time.
He seems like quite an entertaining character. That would be a fun time.
Why do 4 coats of tung oil when it takes over 3 weeks to cure the first coat?
Good question! Because I've never done a Tung Oil finish before and wanted to see how it looks. Also, there is a difference between drying and curing so I only waited a couple of days between coats when it was dry before adding the additional coats. When it has cured in a couple of weeks I might see how it looks and slap on some wax or sand the whole thing down and fix the spots I missed or leave it as is.
@ i see, I usually just use one heavy coat and give it 30 to absorb then let cure and it always comes out nice 👍
You have outdone yourself this time. This is the type of woodworking art which compliments the castles and temples of history. This work sits at the table with Jimmy DiResta and Pedulla Studio.
That is some high praise right there.. This is the kind of project that makes you look like a better wood worker than you are. Thanks!
Thank you for the video! It made me happy to watch. I want to build chairs with the Maloof joint. How comfortable is the seat? The plane, Shinto rasp and building jigs are my frequent tools. I also really like working with jatoba. I have only ever built one thing mahogany but jatoba is frequently available at my wood store. Anyway, thank you for the video!
The seat is quite comfortable. From what I have been told Jatoba is quite a bit harder than the Mahogany so I'm glad I did make the mistake because it was easier with the hand tools. The Maloof joint is a beautiful thing! Thanks for watching!
Good morning 🌅, very nice guitar pick stool, I have seen builders use a router table, with donut 🍩 😂 ring over the router bit to shape the legs 🦵 😂, , I have the rocking chair plans, hoping to make a pair next year, I have not been able to work properly for a year so, I have CTS very bad in my left hand, I have just had my op about 10 days ago, good luck with your next project, look 👀 forward to seeing it, cheers from France,
I have seen the donut used but wanted to use some hand tools. If I make more I may make a donut to speed up the process. Merci
Love the project and the finished product is great. Maloof designs are beautiful. Thanks for the video. Scott
Thank you for watching!
Great job , if you do an another get some sand paper grits up to 500 or even higher , it can really make the wood come alive but you spend twice the time sanding
The stool is beautiful but the way the hand scraping turned out I'm so happy with that portion of it. I've never been fan of sanding ( who is ) and actually have never sanded anything above 220. Some day I will have to give it a try. I have seen stuff done and it is glass smooth but patience are not one of my qualities.
Very nice! Have you tested with a guitar? 😁
Unfortunately I have no musical talent what so ever. I like music but can't play music and will have to stick to dancing around my shop when nobody is looking.
This is beautiful!
Thanks Andy
Wow! Love it!
Thank you Annie!
Beautiful stool! I do believe I will try and make one myself.
I absolutely recommend making one. Good experience and gain some new skills.
Nice project and beautiful wood. A suggestion for your videos is to lower the sound level (a lot) when it’s just machines running. . My ears will thank you. 😊
Whoops.. Normally I do, must have missed one. Thanks
That is one good looking piece. Wonder if it goes for sale? I like the way the legs came out.
It will probably go to the basement with most everything else. It would be quite an expensive stool.
Yes!!! This is one of my top dream builds, the maloof joint guitar stool!!! So excited to watch
I think it's a really cool build too.
i have watched hundreds of videos on table making, furniture repair, interested in both, and you
Thank you for watching!
I really like how your Miter Saw Station turned out. What height is your overall countertop to accommodate your drawer setup?
It's 36.75" overall height. It works pretty good and I'm 5'10" tall.
Sucks you couldn't get a good 45 with that awesome new miter saw. I probably purposefully do thin frames so the cut doesn't matter as much. Great work.
I’m fine with it. You can adjust them but since I mainly just use it for breaking down material it works. I seem to be moving to sleds and shooting boards anyhow.
I think we can all relate to racking up the battery count!
A couple new batteries took care of that problem.
Awesome weights for the glue up.
And they work like they should.. Might be time for some new duct tape though.
Great video Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Great tips on the shooting board. The figure really came out when you milled the maple down.
I was surprised on how much it came out with just the lacquer. Thanks
Good video Paul! Maybe you are on to something with the goat nose finish 🤣
You never know where the next trend will come from.
I liked the part where chatty Paul and productive Paul appear at the same time.
Editing trickery
Nice tour. If only you had an industrial strength rumba robot. Or a shop maid/steward.
I had a cleaner, his name was Andy but he moved away.
Too funny
Thanks!
